EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of the Common frogbit, also known as Hydrocharis morsus-ranae. Captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, this image is a true testament to the artistry and precision of botanical illustration during that era. Handcoloured using copperplate stipple engraving techniques, this artwork comes from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 by Batelli e Figli, it reflects a time when scientific exploration and artistic expression went hand in hand. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, directed and drew this exquisite illustration. His attention to detail brings out every intricate feature of the Common frogbit plant with remarkable clarity. The Common frogbit is not only visually stunning but also has practical uses. This edible vegetable holds significance in both botany and natural history studies. Its presence adds depth to our understanding of various scientific fields such as food science and agriculture.
